Hero Hunter

There was plenty of potential within this book, however, I found the execution lacking. Adian's motivations were a bit hollow and “redeeming” himself at the end after 7 years of seeking bloody revenge felt hollow. Cadence's betrayal wasn't a shock, but she didn't give any hint that she was little more than a washed-up drug addict until the epilogue where she was entrusted with probably the true villain's most important plan.

The dialogue was also questionable at times. Adian called Knightfall a man when she started to drive his motorcycle just so she can say she wasn't one was... cringe at best. Also, I don't mind cussing in the slightest but it felt overused here to prove how dark and edgy the world was.

Finally, the story is labeled as a “gamelit” but there aren't any actual gamelit elements in the story. The only thing that exists was Adian's AI would info dump about characters and items, this could have been done a different way and the gamelit label dropped entirely.
